People were arguing that Forte was a top 3-5 back because he was such a huge part of the Bears offense. Why can't that same argument be applied to Harvin as a receiver?

Because he has the best RB in the NFL?

8 in the box leaves him 1 on 1...

The rate at which teams stack the box against AP has declined as of late. Even if they did stack 8 in the box every play the receiving threats for the Vikings are Harvin, Rudolph, and AP. Jenkins, Aroma, Burton, and Carlson are a non factor in the passing game.

Percy Harvin is young so we have not even seen his best season, has never had a good QB throwing to him, currently holds the #1 yards per kick return of any active player, rushed for 100 yards every season, already rushed for 54 this season, already has a kick return TD, the guy is freaking amazing. He is no Fitz or Megatron or Andre Johnson, but not many more names rate higher than him.

Are you putting him right behind those WRs? I mean, is this thread speaking specifically for the WR position? Fitz, Tron, and Johnson don't run the ball or are major parts of special team either.

And you just desribed why he's a good special teams player. You did not make a case for why he is a better reciever.

Harvin isn't a better receiver, he's a better player. Even though the passing game was almost non existent against the Lions Harvin still found ways to make plays and contribute to the team.

It was never explained how, or what Harvin was better at. It was just assumed everyone meant receiver, which isn't always the case.

- Percy Harvin has extremely great versatility and is extremely underrated as a wide receiver. Did so at UF and does so now. Does that make him better than Brandon Marshall, Greg Jennings and Julio Jones? Hell no.
- Greg Jennings' impact that's felt on the Packers is ridiculously high. Look at their offense without him. He's a game changer and is a Top 5 WR based on that alone. Plus y'know, his credentials, his skills and his abilities.
- Brandon Marshall is also a Top 5 WR. I really don't have to say anything else.
- Percy Harvin is not better than any of them because we can't really judge him because of his low workload and up until recently, his ability to be on the field.
- heylQQKatme sucks.
- Why weren't Vikings fans saying this beforehand? Bros, PFF was way ahead of the Percy loving.
